Went out with the fishing club at USF and loaded up half of the boat with members of the Fishing Club. This was my third trip out with the club and the previous day trip (Bluefin) was miserable. The engine screwed up and we were only like 10 miles out.
The Two Georges was great and I know Eaglesfanguy can give testimony to that. One of our guys got hammered by a near 40 inch amberjack and plenty of people got grouper.
I used a live pinfish and got to test out my Spheros 8000 reel on my boat road. After reeling up with no luck, a 30inch grouper took the bait and took a hard run down. I fought him pretty easily and muscled him to the surface where one of the mates gaffed him. 5/0 circle hook, 80# yozuri flouro leader did the trick.
Water was really choppy but an overall great charter and I have to take bragging rights for the biggest grouper on the trip (I didn't go in the prize pool since it always curses me)
